Watching in-game ads is a way of obtaining additional Diamonds or other bonuses.

There are several types of rewards, which can also be claimed without watching the ads if you have the monthly subscription.

Types

Most reward types have a cooldown before they can be claimed again. This cooldown is not shared across various types.

In the case of research ads, the cooldown becomes active after watching a second ad.

Diamond Gives you Diamonds.png5 8 hours

Boost

Ad icon.png

This ad type becomes available after reaching the third planet (Earth).

It is accessible by tapping on the blue play icon in the main game screen.

You can chose to have one or both of the possible boosts active at the same time:

Watching one ad can grant one of the chosen boosts for the duration of 2 hours. This can be stacked up to 10 hours.

Diamond

Regular Diamond ads are accessible from the Premium menu.

They always give Diamonds.png 5 as a reward and have an 8 hour long cooldown that is not shared with other ad types.

Red Bacteria

Regardless of the reward offered by the Red Bacteria, it is possible to increase it by watching a short video ad.

After the watching the ad, there is a cooldown of approximately 1 hour, where Red Bacteria ads are not available and it's possible to select only the free reward. The cooldown for Red Bacteria ads is in no way related to cooldown for other ad types.

If you have anthe ad-free version, then you can receive the better reward without watching ads.
